Season Greetings

Thank you for stitching along with me this year. I am still stitching but it is on other projects, Christmas gifts, new class projects. I hope to get back to my crazy patch soon. Today I wanted to share a vintage piece that just had to come home with me.

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 119 combo stitch

This time of year is sew busy. I am hoping you are finding a few moments to breath and stitch.

Todays stitch is a combo. Fast and easy. It takes longer to select colors and thread the needle...lol..

Keep stitching,

Janice

365 stitch a long - day 118 cloud stitch

Todays stitch is a woven stitch called the cloud stitch. Not sure why it is called this but it is used as a filler stitch also. Start with small straight stitches that are used as anchors. Weave your second thread through the anchors.

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 117 double zig zag chain

Saw this stitch and realized that we have stitched a single row before, but look at how 2 rows look. Just beautiful. Added a french knot to the center and call it done. Remember to go back into the same hole while making the chain stitch.

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 116 closed blanket variation

A variation of yesterdays stitch. Simply add a straight or regular buttonhole stitch in between the closed buttonhole stitch. Our finished blocks are continuing to pile up. Yeah!

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 115 closed blanket variation

Well it is official. I am hooked on the blanket stitch. Today's is another variation. I am amazed at how many combinations are coming from this one simple basic stitch. Today we combine a regular blanket stitch with a closed blanket stitch. After stitching the straight stitch, go back into the same hole and stitch a closed stitch. This is just a closed blank stitch on a angle.

Keep stitching,

Janice
